Sometimes it seems that no matter what we say, we are misunderstood. It's confusing when others get angry or hurt at what we say because that wasn't our intent. In fact, we may take apart our conversation just to see what went wrong. We want to show our support and express how much we care, but we are told "You don't understand". At that point, it may be for the best that we stop talking. Know that it is not about us telling others what we think they should do, but having the ability to just sit quietly and listen as they work out their problems in their own way. Today, listen. You may learn more about people when you give them a chance to talk. One of the greatest gifts you can offer another person is your willingness to just "Being There".
Hey, be careful you're too close to the water...
(This mother duck had so many duckies that one kept running away from her. She finally gave up and let him swim on his own.
I guess she knew better because he never went too far away.)
